What to expect @ PMA 2010

pma2010 What to expect @ PMA 2010

PMA 2010 is one of the major photography related shows in the US. This year the event will take place in Anaheim, California from February 21-23.

Many new photography products will be announced prior and during PMA. Here is a brief recap on what to expect based on previously reported rumors (click on each link for the corresponding article):

Panasonic: two point and shoot models and a Lumix G replacement.

Olympus: multiple point and shoot cameras, nothing else.

Pentax: three new compact cameras with some interesting design.

Sony: series of point and shoot cameras and α700 replacement.

Ricoh: new CX2 camera and a new 28-300 GXR lens.

Samsung: a new k-mount for the Samsung NX-10 is expected, don’t have any other information at that point.

Tamron: maybe two new lenses (“maybe” because the announcement could be after PMA).

Hasselblad: a new service for photographers should be announced.

Fuji: maybe a new m4/3 EVIL model, otherwise some new digital and maybe film cameras.

Leica: nothing for PMA, but expect a new 35mm Summilux M lens in March and some new compact cameras (fyi: Leica is not attending PMA 2010).

Canon: 1Ds4 and 60D and maybe three new lenses. Canon should have an announcement on February 9th.

Nikon: well, I have a whole blog for that – too much to mentioned it all here, but Coolpix S8000, Coolpix P100, Coolpix S3000 and Coolpix S8000 are expected.

      Yeah, wasn’t the Sigma SD15 coming this February, or did they delay it another year?

        I have info on Sigma, that’s why they are not the list.

            I think somebody emailed me about this lens, but my understanding was that it will be released in March, after PMA.

      I added the 4 Coolpix cameras – those are the only models I am 99% sure. Everything else is just speculations for now.

    Samsung would launch new accessories for NX system. Will present the K-mount adapter and could announce new lenses.

    I thought Canon backed out of PMA this year.

      I’m going to update my own post.

      I see Canon’s updates are from canonrumors.com.

      Canon IS NOT a part of PMA 2010. I think dpreview or somebody else mentioned that they pulled out; go to the official PMA site, they ARE NOT an exhibitor. So why would they have an announcement in February? The 1DMkIV was announced ahead of their 3 year schedule because of the Winter Olympics, and they’ve already announced the one new lens they have.
